Ok, so I’m getting a bit fed up of the lack of empathy from people I thought were close friends in relation to the very real and often devastating impact infertility can have on our lives... I just really want some people I can chat to now and then over a cuppa or (when we’re not mid-treatment) a glass of wine, about the trials and tribulations of IVF, infertility, miscarriage and how it’s affecting our day to day lives. Maybe share a chuckle with others who “get it,” and just feel a bit less alone on this whole ruddy journey. Does anyone know of any friendly support meetings in central Manchester..? I know there’s something in knutsford on Monday nights but that’s a bit difficult for me, hoping for something more central if possible. I’ve also contacted St Mary’s, where I had my first NHS cycle in 2015, but not sure if they’d still accept me on their patient support group now? I’d be up for just arranging a lunch, coffee, drink, in Manchester, with anyone who fancies it one weekend or mid-week night. Be nice to be able to chat/socialise without worrying about insensitive comments, lack of understanding, having to talk about other people’s babies... Any advice/thoughts much appreciated 😊🤗🌈 xx

Hi Claire_Mitch. If you have a look at our website fertilitynetworkuk.org you will be able to find information in the support section, of the list of support groups in the UK. There is one in Manchester, so do have a look. Diane
Thanks for your help Diane I was keeping my fingers crossed for a peer-led group in central manchester but have had a look and can only see the fertility clinic-based group in knutsford but this would still be appreciated and useful, so I will see if I’m able to get there. Thank you again for your quick response
